Just a headsup, I didn’t do it – I wish I can do this for myself. (╯_╰) Before you give me credit I don’t deserve, this was a post-photoshoot selfie. I was lucky to have an expert who’s been around for many years make me up.

The secrets behind a mesmerizing smokey eyeshadow – blending and the right colours. Yes, it’s more than just a black colour. This may be a shocker, but the base (the colour we start with) does not have to be black or grey. The best base is usually a brown tone!

The colours used to achieve this eyeshadow were from the Naked palette. Can you guess which colours were used?

Answer: Darkhorse, Smog (left of Darkhorse) and Sidecar.

Darkhorse: The colour most prominent / accent colour.

Smog: The unsung hero also known as the transition colour. It’s the base Melissa started with before she smoked my eyes with Darkhorse. As you can see, a good blend helps these two colours to transition seamlessly.

Sidecar: The highlight colour. This goes on the brow bone and the inner corners of my eyes. ｡◕‿◕｡

And…

(Far right) Blackout from Naked 2.

Melissa also added a dash of Blackout from the Naked 2 palette to the outer corners of my eyes to further define them. You can used any black colour from the same palette, so don’t worry about buying 2 different palettes or more colours. In fact, you can substitute these colours with similar eyeshadow colours you currently have!

Melissa is a perfectionist. She brought all her Naked palettes that day – Naked, Naked 2, Naked 3. Check out our dressing table…

The idea is to make your eyes look like theyglow in the inner cornersand deep-set in the outer corners, hence the bright to dark transition.

Finish off with the usual: Eyeliner (top + bottom) and mascara. I’m not wearing falsies here but you can add them on if you wanna amplify the look! (✿◠‿◠)
